Natalie's POV:
As I shift my eyes left and right to see Ayato and Beth standing there so awkwardly, I decided to say something by clearing my throat just to break that awkward silence as I crept a kind grin.

"Heeey Beth! Have you heard of these delicious mochi ice cream that I've been talking about recently?" I asked curiously which had both of them flinched a bit and turn to me with puzzled looks.

"Ice cream what now?" Ayato baffled.

"Umm yeah?...Why?" Beth asked confusingly.

"Oh you see, the-" As soon as I was about to explain more about mochi ice cream, our conversation got cut off when I felt a hand on my shoulder when I turn my head to see Kanato staring down at me that had me anxious and nervous.

"Natalie, may I talk to you in private?" He asked politely while staring blankly. Not wanting to piss him off again back in our house, I crept a fake grin and nod at him without saying a word.

"Sure why not?" I replied in a sweet tone, but deep down I'm shaking like a leaf and Kanato doesn't seem to notice nor care about it and remain smiling.

"Then let's go." He said kindly with a smile that had me shivering inside as I turn to Beth where I gave her reassuring smile and put my finger to my lips with a wink just to tell her that I'll be fine.

As soon as we teleported out of the house, I widen my eyes to recognize the dark and eerie graveyard that brings back memories when I was a kid.

This...This is where Mom and Dad are buried....why would Kanato bring me here?....

I thought where my mind is filled with confusion and uneasiness as memories starts to crawl back. I've been this graveyard a long time ago once, my parents died from accident before they head home to celebrate my birthday. It was the most traumatizing thing I ever go through, but that's not all. Once I moved to my aunt's house, things have gone worst. Unlike my parents who are very loving and supportive of me dream of singing, My aunt is the opposite of them. She's cold with no warmth inside of her. She would verbally and emotionally abused me all day for not doing a great job on singing. She's a perfectionist and she would pressure me to sing better. She wouldn't even give me a break, and it got to the point where my throat starts to hurt from raising my voice so much, but my aunt didn't care. All she cares about is wanting me to be the perfect singer and I don't want that life. I rather live with the rest of my life happy with Jamie and the others.

While memories start roaming around my mind, I felt a hand grabbing me where I turn my head to see Kanato smiling innocently.

"Shall we go?" He asked curiously as I nod while keeping a sweet smile.

"Sure." I replied while holding back my nervousness as we both strolled through the graveyard. Both of us were quiet for five minutes where my mind is full of confusion, fear, and uncertainty.

"Natalie."

"Hm?" My thoughts soon interrupted when I turn to Kanato when he called my name.

"Do you love graveyards?" He asked curiously which had me uneasy while nervous about returning back to the trauma from my childhood. I gave him a small grin while holding back my nervousness.

"Not exactly, but...I don't mind if you take me to it." I replied with a grin leaving Kanato tilting his head on confusion, but kept silent as we stroll through the graveyard where I felt uneasy about being around with dreary headstones. Soon we stopped and Kanato releases my hand where a large headstone is right in front of us. Then the purple haired vampire reaches his hand out and stroke the headstone with ease, but something about him makes me feel suspicious and unsettling. While stroking the tombstone, Kanato soon starts to speak to me.

"...Natalie, do you know the reason why people die?.." He asked in a serious tone while stroking the tombstone. I fell silent for a minute before responding to his question.

"...To me...death is quite inevitable and...unpredictable. You don't know when you're going to die or not because the future is unknown." I told him while feeling uneasy.

"Unknown huh?..." He mumbled while caressing the tombstone. Then he turns around with a creepy smile that sends me red flags upon looking at him.

"Would you like to know how my mother died then?..."  He asked curiously tilting his head like an "innocent angel" that he looks. However, I remain silent while still feeling uneasy around Kanato when I knew what he's talking about. I remember a scene like this from the anime. This is where Kanato took Yui to the triplets' mother's grave, but...he doesn't shed a tear. Neither of the triplets feel bad for killing their mother. Why? Because their mother was not like other mothers...she was...a monster....

Kanato looked impatient for a moment before reverting back to his innocent smile.

"Alright, since you won't or too afraid to tell me. I'll just say this plainly. WE killed her. Ayato planned this a while back before we met Yui. We all resent her, so we have to do the extreme. Ayato attacked her, Laito pushed her off the balcony, and I burned her corpse until there's nothing left..." He explained as he shoots me an ecstatic expression, but then it turns back to a frown when he grips his fists tight.

"After everything that she has put us through...I'll never forgive her...and I haven't forgiven till THIS DAY!!" He snapped as he turns around and drops his teddy bear where he starts kicking the tombstone relentlessly. I stood there in terror when I feel like I'm part of the graveyard scene and I'm going through what Yui has been enduring.

Part of me wants to get away from him, but part of me wants to comfort him. So what did I choose? It's a risky one, but...I ran over to him and give him a hug, but unsurprisingly that ended poorly when he push me off and I fell to the ground. I glance at him where he laughs maniacally at me.

"Pathetic, you should've seen the look on your face! Mortals are hilariously stupid, but you're even more stupider! Ahahahahahaha!!!!" He laughed hysterically mocking me for my pity. I sat feeling my blood boiling through my veins as I clench my hands to the ground. Dark thoughts then clouded through my mind and that's when I immediately snapped with my dark personality took over my brain.

Soon I tackled Kanato to the ground without any thought as I squeezed his throat very tight while giving him the most frightening death glare ever.

"Is this how you treat people?...Messing with people's heads? Toying with people's emotions like a sick twisted game? You're even lower than I thought you'd be." I harshly spat as I tighten his neck with full strength.

"Gak!...Ack!...aah...aah...hehehe.." Not wanting to be dominated, Kanato grabs my neck and we flip over switching our roles where Kanato laid on top of me and I laid on the ground being chocked by him.

"Don't make...me...Ack! Laugh...what can you..Gah! Possibly know...about my...motives?...." He gulped while I'm choking him.

"Apparently GAH! More than...ack! You...Aah! Brat!" I retorted while being chocked. Getting irritated, I kicked him in the crouch and I stood up panting heavily while regaining air from my lungs as I look down at him with contempt.

"Maybe you're right...maybe I don't know you that much. In fact, you..don't even care of how...I feel...just like how your brothers don't even...give a damn about others. You don't even know how to care...you know how to love...you have zero empathy. The only thing you do care is yourself and that's the saddest part..." I harshly spat while glaring down at Kanato. I then sighed and pick up his teddy bear and give it to Kanato without looking at him.

"...Just take me back okay? I don't wanna be here anyway." I grumbled while turning away. Kanato stood there silently and me getting very irritated, I turn around to yell at him, but I stopped when I saw that strange look on his face. It wasn't an angry look, a creepy look, of anything. It was all...blank. Soon my dark personality slowly diminishes and I reverted back to my innocent state.

As he glance up and down at the teddy bear, I grab the stuffed animal and stand up from the ground. He then extend his hand to me without a word. Not wanting to deal with his wrath, I keep my mouth shut and hold his hand where we both teleported back to Ayesha's house where everyone is gather together in the kitchen for some reason.

Confused, I turn to Jamie and the rest with so many questions appearing in my mind.

"...Did something happened?..." I asked curiously, but Jamie shook her head and grinned.

"Everything is fine Natalie, how's everything with Kanato?" She asked which I felt awkward of whether or not I should tell her what happen.

"Ummm it's...fi-" Just before I answered, I heard Kanato's footsteps when I turn around to see him walking towards the door.

"Huh? Wait, Kanato! Where are you-" As soon as I about to stop him, he ignored me and slams the door without saying a single word. Everyone went silent for a moment after Kanato left. Kira then leans to my ear and whispered.

"What happened between y'all?" She asked curiously as I sighed and sunk to my shoulders.

"It's nothing for you to worry about." I replied as I look back at the door wondering where Kanato is right now feeling conflicted at the moment. As I look back at his emotionless expression, I lower my head with my mind filled with inconsistent feelings of whether I made a right words to Kanato or not.

He didn't even bother lashing back at me....his face looks...blank...like he had something in his mind, but didn't want to express it....Did I said something that triggered him or was it my imagination?...

I pondered where I don't even know if I should sympathize or despise Kanato. Cuz either way, I'm confused and I feel so tired tonight...
